Hi everyone,

I am working on a medical dataset for Sepsis detection. I’m using the `TimeSeries` and `TimeSeriesLabels` tags to identify the exact hour of **Sepsis Onset** on a temperature plot.

**The Problem:** Currently, when a user selects the “Sepsis Onset” label, they have to click and drag to create a colored window (a time range). For our clinical needs, we want the user to simply **click a specific hour/point** on the graph to mark the onset with a single vertical line or dot, rather than a duration.

**Current Setup:** We are using the following XML config:

**What I’ve Tried:**

- Looking for a `type="point"` or `allow_range="false"` attribute in the `TimeSeriesLabels` documentation, but I couldn’t find a clear way to restrict it to a single point.

**Questions:**

1. Is there a specific parameter to force `TimeSeriesLabels` to select a single time point instead of a range?

2. If not, is there a recommended workaround to achieve this?

I’ve attached a screenshot of our current UI. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
